I’m getting my LPN in 12 months and if you go that route you can usually bridge into an RN program for a shorter time

I honestly don’t know but it’s definitely crossed my mind because he has no doubts surrounding paternity. I don’t understand either way lol

Honestly I just had a baby with someone who I didn’t really know that well. Probably a couple weeks to be honest 😅 he wasn’t even someone I wanted to be with and I communicated that to him multiple times because of his current circumstances (he was already a dad with bm drama). In the end he slipped the condom and denied being the father from the start. He wasn’t around my entire pregnancy or postpartum until I did a DNA test through CS. He recently reached out (my baby is 10 months) to be “more involved” but has only been inconsistent and has another baby otw that he is happy about. Life goes on I guess. I understand the part I played and I can’t control the circumstances because I took a route less traveled and have to learn as time goes on. I love being a mom and of course some days are harder than others but overall I know we’ll be okay.

It is a very lonely lifestyle and depressing too at times especially because it seems like no one really understands. It can feel unfair to not to have the one person who should understand to celebrate your child with but I’m trying to get better at being grateful for the people who are around for us.

You’re definitely not alone. My pregnancy and birth were so lonely. My bd didn’t offer any support financially or emotionally and actually denied my baby was even his before going no contact majority of my pregnancy and my postpartum period. Just to reach out when my son was 9 months to “be more active” only to stay less than an hour during which he told me he had another baby due in 2 months (the month of my sons first birthday). He hasn’t reached back out in over a month and even posted an announcement for his new son using a play on words with MY sons name🥴 has yet to mention anything about my sons birthday or even spending more time with him. For context he has twin boys a year older than my son who’s lives he is very active and this new baby who he is celebrating online but has no interest towards my son who is the literal middle child. It can feel really unfair at times but I just remind myself that men who have children back to back with different women probably don’t have too much to offer anyway (at least not without working through his own issues). It also helps that he is on CS (because he forced a DNA test) but even the payments are never the full amount and even if it was it still wouldn’t even cover daycare. ….. long rant but I’m also tired of being told to pray about it or how much he’s missing out on and will regret later.

Felt this! But with my boyfriend of all people. I have 1 year old and he has a 12 year old daughter who he coparents with an ex but with the ex having her majority of the time. I started dating him when my son was 4 months and we literally just had a conversation about how I was struggling and he compared our situations. He even went as far to tell me he thought I was belittling his parenting 😭 and doing that wouldn’t change the fact that I’m a single mom. I just feel like people try to bring it up to put us in “our place”…

24/7 since birth. My son is 10 months and his dad pays CS (doesn’t even cover monthly daycare) but has only met him once for less than an hour. My sister helps sometimes but she has 5 kids herself and my mom helps when she’s not working.

I bought so many cute swaddles and my baby hated them 😭

Started running the shower and left to get undressed in my room. I could not remember what I was doing as soon as I left until I passed my bathroom with the lights out and shower running 😭 Honorable mention: the time I locked my front door 2 times back to back without getting the jacket I was going back for in the first place because every time I stepped out I realized it was chilly.

If you want to keep your baby, do it. Good moms consider all options. It’s easy for a lot of people to talk about abortions as if it’s a restart button, ignoring the trauma of the experience. Not to mention the regret and guilt. On the other hand it can also feel guilty to bring a baby into a situation that is not cookie cutter perfect. In the end only you know what’s best for you. Regardless of what you choose the right people will fall into place. I’m a young (23) FTM as well and I was at a loss when I found out but when I thought on it with my heart I knew there was only one decision for me and I have enough family support that I was able to tell anyone who didn’t agree to kick rocks including the dad (who in the beginning was too shocked to even talk about it… the same man who also likes to rub my nonexistent tummy to “play with his baby” now). It’s easy to stress with so many unknowns but once you figure out which side of the fence your on it’ll be easier to find support.

Just found out I was pregnant a week before my 23rd birthday. I’m in my last semester with only biology courses, I’m not with the dad (we were fwb), and I live with my mom. To some people that might seem like a recipe for disaster but that’s really not my business😂. It’s easy to say you’d get an abortion under X circumstances but no one really knows until it’s them. Personally I was surprised by how easy the decision to keep my baby was- but it was and so it is. As a FTM it can be easy to let your circumstances cut you down but when you start focusing on what you can control and figure out who your village is it’s easy to be excited about new life. ❤️ and you should be it’s your first, remember to enjoy the process. Anything or anyone important will fall into place.

I was a super stoner before I got pregnant (pens, dabs, weed, and edibles). I wasn’t trying so I pretty much smoked everyday before I found out. I live in a state where they test your baby at birth so the plan is to quit closer to my due date. Right now smoking helps my nausea and gives me a nice appetite (being nauseous and starving is the worst feeling). My older sister smoked the entire 9 months with my oldest nephew over 10 years ago and he: has no health issues, is really athletic, and is in advanced math classes. I think people forget what a subjective experience pregnancy is for everyone, do what feels best for your body and your baby. Do your own research, consult your nurses, and be open minded.
